Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (RKLB.US) has scheduled its next Electron rocket mission, "Follow My Speed," set to lift off from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand just 48 hours after successfully completing another mission at its Virginia launch site. The upcoming launch window opens on November 20, 2025, at 12:15 UTC, with the Electron rocket deploying a single satellite for a confidential commercial customer.
If successful, this will mark Rocket Lab's third instance of completing two consecutive launches within 48 hours in the past 12 months. The rapid cadence follows the company's recent HASTE mission—its 75th launch—helping it surpass its previous annual record of 16 launches. With the next mission underway, Rocket Lab is on track to achieve a record-breaking 18 launches within a year.
At the time of reporting, Rocket Lab's shares rose nearly 4% in pre-market trading on Thursday.
